(1) The technical field to which the invention belongs. , Which is characterized by a circuit configuration previously described, and is characterized by a lighting circuit configuration for high-pressure discharge lamps (hereinafter referred to as lamps). In addition, the present invention also relates to a lighting system having an operating device and a high-pressure discharge lamp. For the purpose of lighting, the lighting system has an auxiliary lighting electrode, and the operating device of the above-mentioned circuit configuration is provided with one end portion. For the lighting electrode. (II) The prior technical document WO 00/77826 (Van den Nieuwenbhuizen) discloses a high-pressure discharge lamp with two electrodes, in which a glass body has a cavity around a feed lead to one of the electrodes, and the cavity is located in the cavity. The glass electrode surrounded by a point is an auxiliary lighting electrode in the form of a wire loop. The wire loop is connected to its feed wire without a hole by an electrical connection. The benefit of this configuration is that it reduces the lighting voltage of the luminaire. By using the auxiliary lighting electrode, the dielectric impedance discharge can be excited in the cavity. As a result, UV radiation is generated, and ions are generated in the discharge space of the lamp for lighting. The lighting voltage of the lamp, that is, the voltage required for lighting, is reduced due to the above configuration, but the auxiliary lighting electrode must be high voltage at this time, at least a part of the advantage is reduced. Document W 0 0 1/5 9 8 1 1 is to solve this kind of problem. It is disclosed that the auxiliary lighting electrode is not directly connected to the electrode of the lamp. Furthermore, the primary winding of the transformer is connected between the two ends of the lamp, and the auxiliary lighting electrode is connected to the secondary winding voltage which can be stepwise increased compared with the voltage of a 200304163 secondary winding. However, the disadvantage of this solution is that the cost of the transformer will be very high. (3) Summary of the invention The object of the present invention is to provide a circuit configuration as described in the preamble to the first item of the scope of patent application, which can achieve the lighting of the high-pressure discharge lamp at low cost. The characteristics of the circuit configuration to achieve this purpose are as defined after the "Primary Features" in the second paragraph of the scope of patent application. Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to provide a lighting system having the features as described in the fifth item of the patent application scope. And other advantages and characteristics of the present invention can be found in the dependent claims. The lamp of the present invention is an AC voltage lamp that feeds AC voltage with an AC power source. In particular, for engineering applications, the AC power supply voltage is preferably in the form of a square wave and is provided by a full bridge consisting of four electronic switching elements. In the case of conventional lamps without the above-mentioned holes, most of the known methods are pulsed lighting using a so-called lighting device connected between the AC power supply voltage and the lamp. In the case of lamps with a lowering lighting voltage, there is no pulse-type lighting. Due to the above-mentioned relationship between the auxiliary lighting electrode and the hole, no lighting device is required. Furthermore, the lighting voltage is generated by the resonance of a resonant circuit composed of a series circuit of a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor. The AC power supply voltage is fed to the resonance circuit. The midpoint of the resonant circuit coupled to the first lamp end is at the connection point between the resonant capacitor and the resonant capacitor. Without general restrictions, if it is necessary to have the above-mentioned hole, its position is set on the feed lead to the lamp electrode coupled to the end of the first lamp. 200304163 In the following embodiments, when it is used in other situations, it is appropriately arranged at different end positions. The end of the second lamp is coupled to the other pole of the resonant capacitor which is not connected to the midpoint of the resonant circuit. Therefore, the lamp is connected in parallel with the resonant capacitor. If the resonant circuit is excited at the resonant frequency, if the lighting voltage reduction is completed with the above-mentioned auxiliary lighting electrodes and holes, the voltage formed across the lamp is sufficient to light the lamp. If the AC power supply voltage is in the form of a square wave, the fundamental wave of the AC power supply voltage that meets the resonant frequency of the resonant circuit is not required. In order to stimulate the resonant circuit, various harmonics in the AC power supply voltage can be used. It is best to use the 3rd, 5th, or 7th harmonic. If the symmetrical design of the resonant circuit is desired, the resonant inductor can be divided into two components. One of the AC power supply voltages is connected to the resonant capacitor through a component inductor. If so, the lamp is connected in parallel with it. However, at this time, at one end of the auxiliary lighting electrode, at the time of resonance, it is necessary to provide a higher voltage than the lighting voltage appearing across the resonant capacitor. According to the present invention, this high-voltage system is achieved by feeding a voltage across the resonant inductor to a primary winding of a point lamp transformer. At the secondary winding, the lighting transformer provides the voltage of the resonant inductor, which is a multiple of the transformer ratio. The first end of the secondary winding is coupled to the end used for the auxiliary lighting electrode. The second end of the secondary winding can be connected to different potentials of the circuit configuration, which can be coupled to one of the two ends of the resonant inductor or to the end of the second lamp. According to the invention, the 200304163 conversion ratio is selected such that during the resonance operation of the resonance circuit, the voltage presented between the end of the first lamp and the end of the auxiliary electrode is a voltage sufficient to generate UV radiation in the cavity. The voltage established between the auxiliary lighting electrode and the end of the second lamp is also important for selecting the coupling of the second end of the secondary inductor. Higher voltages can produce higher field strength in the luminaire, so it can illuminate the luminaire. According to the invention, the second end of the secondary winding is therefore coupled to the midpoint of the resonant circuit. According to the invention, regarding the field strength of the lamp, the selection of the winding sense of the lighting transformer causes the voltage on the secondary winding to be polarized, so that the voltages between the two ends of the lamp are added instead of phased. That is, the voltage at the end of the auxiliary lighting electrode is higher than the voltage at the end of the first lamp under the reference end of the second lamp. As described above, according to the present invention, the voltage on the resonant inductor is fed to the primary winding of the lighting transformer. Therefore, resonant inductors and lighting transformers usually require one component each. According to the present invention, in order to save a component, a resonant inductor is used as a primary winding of a lighting transformer. Therefore, one advantage of the present invention is that the lighting transformer need not be provided with a separate accessory. The resonant inductor presented in any case is only an extension of the secondary winding. In a lighting system, a lamp end including an operating device of one of the above-mentioned circuit configurations is connected to the lamp, and one auxiliary lamp electrode connected to the end of the auxiliary lamp electrode may be arranged at any desired position near the lamp discharge capacitor. On one point. Therefore, the lighting of the lamp can be achieved by the above field strength. If the glass body of the lamp that encapsulates the feed lead to an electrode has a hole, in order to generate UV radiation for 200304163, the auxiliary lighting electrode is preferably wound around the hole. (IV) Embodiment As shown in FIG. 1, an AC power supply voltage UV b is fed from an AC power supply voltage 1 to a resonance circuit, and the resonance circuit includes a series connection of a resonance inductor L 1 and a resonance capacitor c 1 Circuit. The connection point between the resonant inductor L 1 and the resonant capacitor C 1 forms a midpoint 2 of a resonant circuit. The middle point 2 of the resonance circuit is connected to the first lamp end J 1, and the first electrode of the high-pressure discharge lamp Lp is connected to the first lamp end J 1. The end of the resonance capacitor C1 not connected to the midpoint 2 of the resonance circuit is connected to the second lamp end J2, and the second electrode of the high-pressure discharge lamp Lp is connected to the second lamp end J2. The resonant inductor L 1 forms the primary winding of a lighting transformer. The inductor L2 forms the secondary winding of the lighting transformer. The first end portion of the inductor L2 is connected to the end portion J 3 for auxiliary lighting electrodes. The auxiliary lighting electrode is surrounded by the feed lead of the first electrode of the lamp Lp, and is connected to the end J3 ° In order to illuminate the lamp, the AC power voltage 1 outputs a square wave of the AC power voltage Uvb, which has a resonance Harmonics near the resonant frequency of the circuit. This is to generate the lighting voltage U c across the resonant capacitor C 1, which can be fed to the lamp Lp via the terminals J 1 and: ί 2. In order to make the lighting voltage U c sufficient to light the lamp Lp, it is necessary to provide a voltage U L 2 in excess of the lighting voltage U c between the ends J 1 and J 2. This is used for the conversion ratio of the lighting transformer. A voltage U z is formed between the ends J 3 and J 2. The lighting voltage level (1 e v e 1) has few strict requirements. Therefore, according to the present invention, the 200304163 group of winding senses for lighting and voltage transformation are selected as the two inductors L 1 and L 2 as shown in the figure. According to the winding direction, U z is equal to the absolute sum of the voltages U c and U L 2 without any difference. In Figure 1, the specific data of the components can be listed as follows: The 电源 of the AC power supply voltage Uvb is selected as 1 80V, the 値 of the resonant inductor L1 is 180 μΗ, the 値 of the resonant capacitor C1 is 2.2 nF, and the conversion ratio of the lighting transformer is When the frequency of the AC power supply voltage U cb is about 5 1 k Η z, the peak value 电压 of the voltage UL2 can be as high as 4 kV.
